Can uterine prolapse be treated with acupuncture?

Patient's question:

Last month's examination of uterine prolapse degree 1 and the history of previous treatment and its effectiveness: Doing Kegel exercises, the effect is not very significant. No drug allergies, no hereditary family history - can acupuncture be used for treatment?

Doctor's answer:

For patients who experience recurrent uterine prolapse, a comprehensive evaluation approach combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, as well as integrated measures of treatment, nutrition, and rest, is recommended. In terms of treatment methods, they can be categorized into non-surgical therapies such as the use of pessaries, oral administration of Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonifying the Middle and Strengthening Qi), acupuncture, and steam baths, as well as surgical repair. Faced with the harms of uterine prolapse, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If uterine prolapse does not improve with prolonged treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
